Apple and two camps in attrition fight: since eight hundred to develop the one thousand loss

Apple co-founder Steve Jobs (Steve Jobs) before he died once made a famous speech, he have vowed to Google Android smart phone launched a "thermonuclear war", the reason is the other party had plagiarized the iPhone technology.

Now, he started the laws of war has access to the third year, but Android has not been destroyed.

Instead, it has evolved into a costly attrition fight. In YiQiQi involving dozens of patent lawsuit, apple has little have gained ground, forcing his opponent to remove a small function, so as to temporarily forced back by the other party. But apple also lost a few court battles, and forced to product change.

In the United States is in the case--in two together MOTOROLA (the Po) mobile, in addition to with samsung (the Po)--are likely to form one more heavy blow. The two lawsuits involve smartphone and tablet computer core technology of the legal rights and interests, and no matter which side failure, will face a huge loss and high costs, and is likely to conduction to terminal consumer there, lead to prices.

More than science and technology and legal analysts think, if apple wins, Android manufacturers must the product is important changes, or pay a huge sum to apple patent fees, in order to continue to use related technology. However, apple opponent has said that the iPhone and iPad manufacturers as it is possible by other company's infringement charges. MOTOROLA mobile and samsung are already counterclaims apple.

Comprehensive war

The judge in January this year the MOTOROLA mobile the hearing of the case that, no matter how the trial results, any one party can win. According to written records, the Chicago circuit court judge Richard Posner (Richard Posner) was apple lawyers said: "you can't destroy other smart phones, they also cannot destroy the iPhone."

Apple declined to discuss the patent strategy, but the company had said, rival "wholesale" copied from the iPhone and iPad.

The company in the U.S. smartphone market share than any of its rivals, this is due to the success of the iPhone 4 S. However, from the whole world, Android sales of more than apple but equipment. According to the market research firm IDC data, Android a global market share of close to 50%, and apple iOS system of 2011 share only 19%.

Apple launched in March 2010 for Android global patent war, this company to the United States in federal court in Delaware at that time and the us federal trade commission (hereinafter referred to as "ITC") filed a lawsuit, charged with mobile phone manufacturer HTC (the Po) infringement. Apple and in October of prosecution MOTOROLA mobile, in April 2011 after the patent war broke out and samsung.

Apple sued HTC in the week, what jobs to biographer Walter ai Saxon (Walter Isaacson) says he will use apple was $40 billion cash reserves of the "every penny" strike Android. "I will destroy Android, because this is stolen products." Steve jobs said, "I want to launch a thermonuclear war."

Early results

Today, apple's cash reserves have risen to nearly 100 billion us dollars, and Steve jobs successor Tim Cook (Tim Cook) also announced Monday, will through the dividends and buy back shares way will fund the return to investors.

Google free to intelligent mobile phone manufacturer provides Android system, but because the phone is not independent production, so the company was not directly involved in the lawsuit. But, after finishing the MOTOROLA mobile takeover, things will change.

Apple has now won a small victory scale, for example, the German court has because "slide to unlock" function and to MOTOROLA mobile issued the injunction. This is the iPhone a sign sexual function, make users need not press too much button unlock the phone.

MOTOROLA mobile says, is for the function deployment of the new design, and released last month the ban will not to the current supply or future sales have an impact.

On the apple's another victories, because German court last September ruled that apple won, the samsung Galaxy Tab was forced to adjust the the metal frame. But samsung spokesman Kevin gold (Kevin Kim), said the company believes, the case will not affect the samsung for users provide mobile product ability.

However, apple also forced to adjust some function. In "slide to unlock" case after losing, MOTOROLA mobile soon and the other a lawsuit in Germany beat apple, Sue goal is iCloud electronic mail delivery function.

Electronic mail delivery is a widely used technique, can be in new information received, through the smartphone and tablet computer users to automatically send remind. Apple says, the German court ban will not produce too big effect, the user can set, to each lead a period of time be charged new mail.

California Santa Clara patent lawyers colin money (Colleen Chien) think, when science and technology company patent litigation and forced to adjust because when the product, might annoy users, eventually lead to change their product.

Chicago matchups

Apple in the United States for MOTOROLA mobile launched the most important a lawsuit, will be in June of this year by posner judges, there are six patents. Posner trial in intellectual property litigation is famous for his work etc. Body, one of the books is devoted discusses intellectual property law economic problems.

The jury how to define the apple patent shall be the language, is a critical step in patent litigation. And in the case of trial posner, apple has in this respect preemptive opportunities. For example, he adopted the apple on the definition of a patent, the patent covers the Skype and other media streaming video application in the smart phone operation mode.

Designed for institutional investors provide consulting service of American lawyer Nick rodriguez (Nick Rodelli) says that such patent involve smartphone core functions, therefore, if apple wins, it will force a MOTOROLA mobile modify complex technology, or directly cancel the corresponding function.

Apple in litigation document says winning the core patent lawsuits means that Android will carry on "substantial change", MOTOROLA will have hundreds of millions of dollars from the cost of tens of millions of even. "They discussing." Rodriguez said.

MOTOROLA mobile also accused apple infringed its three and wireless data transmission technology the relevant patents. The lawsuit also will be in June of this year by posner trial.

"We 10 years ago the technology development and apply for a patent, and the invention of the apple announced that time is in five years." MOTOROLA mobile's intellectual property law consultant Neil Taylor (Neill Taylor) said.

Taylor added, because the iPhone sales huge, so if MOTOROLA mobile wins, apple will face greater loss.

Posner in January on hearing, said to get compensation, apple and MOTOROLA mobile must prove their patent function of cell phone sales influence.

Against samsung

In another American federal court accepts the case, apple and samsung Galaxy is because smartphone and tablet computer series on the struggle, these devices also USES the Android operating system.

The case will be held on June the California court in SAN jose, by the United States district court judge Lucy Koch (Lucy Koh) trial. She dismissed the application for apple's last year, Christmas shopping season refuse to samsung smart phones--during and tablet computer. Apple still hope to apply for banning, now is the judgment of Koch appeal.

Apple also in California court for samsung launched a series of new lawsuit, the samsung has also counterclaims. The two companies also will attend ITC in July at the hearings, the case is also related to a number of apple patent. For example, one covers the touch screen equipment how to identify people fingers, and makes the corresponding response.

For the hedge funds provide consulting service of American intellectual property lawyer David mulberry plug (David Sunshine) said, these patents related to the core of the equipment operation mode, if apple wins, samsung will be huge losses.

Android camp be moved: intelligent terminal shuffle new start

Spend 20% of the time, get income than of is less than 5%. Recently, the mobile game developers M ikaM obile through the official blog, announced that stop and exit the Android game development Android game field. And the truth, from a financial standpoint, Android development mean little game.

As is known to all, because of free and cracked resources across in the network, the high quality of the Android platform game how rich are weak in apple iO S. But growing large groups of users and let many developers cannot easily "give" this platform. However, on the one hand, apple iPhone sales reached record high; On the other hand in nokia (the Po) under the support of the Microsoft (the Po) W P terminal increasingly rich, all become the main cause of shunt Android developers.

Last Friday, nokia global C EO Stephen Evans the roper (StephenElop) accept SMW reporter to interview revealed that will intensify efforts to launch low-cost W P cell phone against Android one thousand yuan smartphone.

Weeds grow like the Android

In addition to blame game outside the meager income Android, Mika Mobile was in his blog points out, "the new Google Play Store platform (former Google (the Po) software Store Android Market) is not good operation, and think Google in support of the game developers still take effort."

As the largest Android software application store, one of its remit innovation workshop palm application has been many Android mobile phone users download tool software for use. Application LuoChuan accept SMW CEO remit reporter to interview said once, Android platform game quality apple iOS platform than it, a lot of reason is free-some games business in iOS platform on the development of the high quality game, many shelves the value of more than 30 yuan, users are willing to pay the bill. But Android platform game mostly free to give priority to, to need to rely on advertising to earnings.

The mobile phone for developers, or cellular phone game players, are equal to enter into a need to choose dilemma.

Players can choose in Android phone download games, but the game the mets insert some advertising, whether these ads appear in the game screen which position, will affect the overall visual effect of the whole game, the game experience natural not on iPhone so "clean".

And for mobile phone for developers, Android mobile phone sales explosive growth along the way. That is a game development, can face of users. But many of them users might antipathy for advertising, just packed before long it uninstalled, actual advertising revenue is not ideal. A cell phone game developers and shenzhen to reporters this view this nandu, "we many Android games are try water quality, for not measuring is realized by advertising return, can make much interest, this direct caused the quality is not good."

WP platform comes viciously

Thus, Mika Mobile exit Android area by other manufacturers ever learn? Consulting company war state policy chief analysts think Yang qun, things might not so bad, "after all Android terminals in rising, equal to give up, give up Android a immeasurable market." But now the quality is not high, if not profit model on a breakthrough, still exist for a long time.

In addition, he also proposed to the Android game market concerns. For example, some other platform (WP Microsoft and apple iPhone) in the same stage, especially WP, if the price low enough, model enough, will tap a lot of Android users, this natural will also affect the choice of cell phone game developers.

This is not smoke. On Friday, Mr The roper in guangzhou accept SMW reporter to interview made clear, facing one thousand yuan Android smartphone, nokia has countermeasures LUMIA series-the future (nokia used Microsoft WP system model) the price will be more and more low, can work directly with the one thousand yuan against Android smartphone. In addition, nokia will also launched a number of low but function quite rich model, and the developers and consumers to provide new choice.

For this strategy, Mr The roper seemed to have answers. When SMW reporter asked, in nokia and Microsoft cooperation for one year, he make a few points of cooperation present situation, he XiaoErBuDa, but try to another story to make explanation. "We and Microsoft's cooperation is very good, just a year he introduced a various of price of WP type, forming a complete product line, and often won awards, this is incredible."

Industry view

Intelligent mobile phone industry chain resources for starters

Back to the development platform of ease-of-use, the "abandoned" A ndroid M ika M obile also presented their views, "the company in the development of Android game, A lot of energy to waste in BU G (program holes) repair. Plus A ndroid model, and many companies spend considerable time, according to the different graphics chips to improve the game, or for A effect of mobile phone provide special patch. In addition, the developers spent A lot of money to purchase A ndroid cell phone. All kinds of"

In contrast, apple iOS devices hardware is very united, also highlights the graphic display of high performance, this undoubtedly reduce development difficulty, from another side attracted game developers.

As for the rise the WP platform, Microsoft and nokia seems to be a start realized that, on the one hand, emphasize configuration is unified, on the other hand out the package to attract more of the developers of new ideas. For example on developers support plans, made by Microsoft's W P experts to provide professional and free guidance, from theory to begin the experiment and so on many levels, specialized training. This means that, in addition to attract consumers outside, the smart cellphone industry chain for the resources, has "burn" on to developers.

Operator subsidies: the success of the iPhone a double-edged sword

For Google (the Po) companies, European economic turbulence has brought a ray of hope: in those by the debt crisis of the impact of countries, Google operating system installed smart cellphone is beat iPhone.

Last year, although apple launched high-profile new iPhone 4 S, but research institute international data corp. (IDC) said, in the Greek sold smart phone, the iPhone only 5%, accounting for more than in Portugal is only 9%. The rest of the mobile phone, most of the installation is Google andros operating system.

The above results pointed out the apple one of the few a weakness: rely on mobile operators to make more consumers buying machine subsidies can afford iPhone. This practice has proven very favorable to apple: the company announced the latest quarter revenue rose 73%. But operators were paid the price: in the United States, operators Sprint Nextel, for example, the company launched iPhone last fall, but is expected to to 2015 years to profit from the iPhone.

In the United States and Britain and other countries, the operator subsidy policy last year in the smart phone market help iPhone won more than 20% of the share. But the iPhone in parts of southern Europe showed the market, if operators not wish to most of the cost of buying machine subsidies users (Denmark and Spain and other countries of the some operators do), then apple's market position may be moved. In parts of southern Europe, most users and no and operators to enter into contracts, they have to buy back mobile phones.

The Portuguese operator Optimus contracting spokesman silva said, low-cost equipment (basically was the eminent equipment) into the smart phone market help to the popularization and use.

In Europe, the price is less than 200 dollars and not take consumption of cell phone contract andros abound, this help Google and apple with low price competition. In Portugal, mobile operator vodafone website information display, the company provides the least expensive apple mobile phone (8 G capacity of the iPhone 4) sold for $680. And as long as the $106 minimum andros mobile phone, even the samsung (the Po) electronic high-end phones Galaxy S II than the cheapest price of the iPhone to low.

Greece the largest Mobile operators Cosmote Mobile Telecommunications SA Mobile data and service director Curtis souness, said last year's most popular smartphone is samsung's Galaxy Mini, which does not take the contract price simulates for $188. Curtis souness said, in this economic situation, we have to launch the low end of the smart cellphone.

Google andros partnership, said of JieLin our competition more dependent on buying machine subsidies. If your business ecological system only very expensive phones, so in the long run, it may generate a serious complications.

Analysts say, in the United States, each with a user to buy two years consumption of iPhone contract, operators will have to pay about 400 dollars to apple. Sprint admitted that the iPhone subsidies than other smart phone, the average cost of the high cost of subsidies by 40%. The goal is to reduce the operators of the user buying machine threshold, in the days to come through the service contract earn back and realize the profit of the cost. In addition, do not take contract "prepaid" business operator allows consumers to pay full price to buy mobile phones.

Apple recently sold a record quarter of 37 million in the iPhone, an increase of more than one times, but Wall Street has been tortured for prepaid operators of apple for strategy. Apple has been kept in the market listed nearly three years old type iPhone 3 GS, in order to attract consumers buying machine control budget. But Greek operator Cosmote without contract offer 3 GS price is still $535.

Relevant equipment subsidies debate is just trying to control the wireless industry and benefit from that mobile operators, Internet companies and mobile phone manufacturers between three party of combining component.

Global operators are in reflections on the buying machine subsidies, this to include an apple, all mobile phone manufacturer constitute a risk. Last year, the trend in Denmark is obvious: the Danish domestic several large operator subsidies users no longer buying machine costs, and reduce a month to use fee in order to catch up with the competition. Headquartered in Oslo wireless operators Telenor ASA Denmark division of the chief executive, said, we found that, compared with buying machine subsidies, users attach more importance to cut call package cost, they hope we introduced more simple meal.

In Spain, the Spanish telecoms also begin to question the buying machine subsidies. The company's chief executive gill has accept Spain shimon peres, the state newspaper interview, we can't keep in such subsidies will level. When you buy the television or other consumer product you will pay the price in full. In our view, users buy cellphone operator network and services and investment of the practice of the more healthy.

Samsung mobile bets in three operators ousting "star machine"

Samsung Galaxy NOTE star model takes the lead in the Asian listings, in China the world's most complex 3 G system, where GalaxyNOTE China mobile (the Po) TD version I9228 and China telecom (the Po) EVDO version I889 and coming up, quickly covering domestic all cell phone users.

It is worth noting that, in 2012, more than a samsung electronics such mobile phone brand in China market quite the "radical", operators of attitude is very clear-in addition to $one thousand the smartphone, star type also not relax, everything in order to "grab" users. Especially since the end of last year, China mobile has pulled out samsung GalaxyNOTE, I9108, MOTOROLA MT917, HTCZ710t four of high-end models, recently launched new T D double card double to mobile phone, make the "arms race" reached unprecedented levels.

Three party competition into overdrive

China telecom version iPhone4S distance listed less than a week, telecommunications official out the contract price to take the lead in machine--except the zero dollars buying machine, the user iPhone4S minimum purchase telecom version only choose file 49 yuan package, gen iPhone domestic buyers threshold low, the minimum package than unicom even lower than 25%.

This is just the "positive conflict" is the one horn, China telecom and China unicom (the Po) this "tip to MaiMang" attitude not only appear in iPhone4S. Not long ago, following the unicom WCDMA version millet mobile phone after, China telecom edition millet mobile phone also officially on sale. In addition, in addition to SONY's move only WCDMA version of the type, or some China telecom nets double for the mobile phone, both in the star maxhine has is highly superposition.

While operating td-scdma network of China mobile, experienced in the high-end models of missing TD "pain" substitute together the products, in addition to still move up T D double card double for brain.

Move out of star machine missing trouble

March 2,, China mobile communications terminal group Co., LTD. Guangdong branch joint cool, zte, head of double card double to 3 G, double functions of smart cellphones. Since always, compared to the other two operators, China mobile superstar smartphone fareed zakaria, double card for how much improved double model situation.

In addition, China mobile terminal company guangdong branch was founded at the end of December last year so far, take the lead in released including samsung GalaxyNOTE, I9108, MOTOROLA MT917, HTCZ710t stars such as smart phones level TD. According to a SMW reporter understanding, in guangdong province as an example, this year will build 4300 3 G sites, to a total 30000, emphatically improve coverage and connection rate.

Industry viewpoint

The most typical example from samsung.

In April, 2011, samsung and rob in the Galaxy S Ⅱ before apple introduced, coupled with the latest Galaxy NOTE, apple iPhone4S form "trapped", and also faces the domestic operators launch three different format version. Catering to the operators and the user group.

Mobile phone profit center race: 4 nuclear and 4 G stunt behind the illusion

Barcelona, 2012 global mobile communications conference, cell phone occupied this belongs to the stage of telecommunications equipment.

Barcelona, Spain and the United States of Las Vegas MWC conference meeting of the telecommunication industry CES two great event, a main telecom equipment, a main consumer electronics. But in 2012, the Barcelona show "trespass", almost completely weakened the telecom equipment that a leading role, to take on the idea of consumer electronics. Whether the rise of nokia, intention to LG, or in the telecom equipment supply of zte and huawei, all the focus on the display terminal that telecommunications equipment, leading Ericsson and cisco is submerged in a piece of consumer electronics in the calls. It is deliberately YinErBuFa apple, also in this period iPAD3 revealed to be released news, as always play with apple marketing wrist.
Cellphone industry is excessive and prosperous, or equipment industry excessive cold? No, is industry's new rules of the game.

4 nuclear, 4 G, 41 million pixels behind the illusion

Barcelona show, pode media stunt is 4 nuclear: HTC, huawei, zte, LG, four out of the so-called in east Asia manufacturers 4 nuclear mobile phone, seems to not say 4 nuclear and may not bring, he couldn't keep up with the industry industry trend.

That was a bit when pentium 4 appeared scene, HP (the Po), dell, lenovo, asus, TCL (the Po) have claimed that they were the first launch ran four computer, like each other on the grassland Angle, life and death in the heartbeat seemed--but not a lion rank after all. Little imagine, the first launch or slightly late launch, sells are all PC, difficult to change industry tends to the parting of the red sea half.

Meanwhile, fresh was to mention is that 4 nuclear mobile phone exactly can to cell phone about how the actual performance of the ascension? What will therefore how power consumption, let original of the mobile phone can be a problem DaBing standby embarrassed burden. When the industry most manufacturers are in marketing method to find the gimmicks of the time, the industry also showed signs.

And four nuclear similar stunt, and nokia's 41 million pixels mobile phones, LTE terminal, and bare eye 3 D and 720 P hd screen "hardware war". These with the same memory DDR, big bad voodoo video card, JiJia motherboard, waterproof keyboard, kyushu poets such as water cooling fan of the PC era hardware competition how similar situation.

Yes, most of the industry manufacturers seems to be in the quest for the "hard power", but "hardware blocks" back, but let person has to worry about, the pace of the homogeneity is not be slow, but faster. Looks like "the hard truth", but it is hard to turn signal of a price war.

Back in the cell phone market function, nokia supreme used to hold almost 40% of global market, shaky, by practical product, the globalization channels, and better brand management, once BiNi global. But, once appear smart phone, this global giants almost does not have the strength, the throne of the seemingly unbreakable. And TCL, konka, waiting for a generation of domestic function zhongke mobile phone, also once done wind, dominate the Chinese market half jiangshan, eventually quickly falls in the fortress machine double-team.

So, today in the smart phone market ZhongDiDuan option of a new generation of manufacturers, both huawei, zte, lenovo in major domestic manufacturers, or MeiZu, millet, cool and segment the market opportunist, or a nokia, LG, SONY, MOTOROLA and struggle of the old generation of giants are, and which can be occupied 40% of the market in the new period nokia? A few cannot, it is occupied so big market, the Maori I'm afraid to answer the current year.

The three body "in the so-called" or d "warfare.

To seek profit center

And focus on the "get" the manufacturer is different, also have a few new age leading cellphone manufacturer in another world to build the new rules of the game: the operating system. Apple, samsung (the Po), amazon is one representative, Microsoft, Intel, Mozilla, dorigo also. In a sense, this was a "3 body" say "or d war", follow the rules of the game was very different.

Hiding in Barcelona exhibition and CES show is behind the apple. This head occupied the industry more than fifty percent profit, $500 billion market value of a lion's breakthrough, is extremely cunning. Even its next generation also mostly products hardware upgrades, also be not willing to and other companies competing, so iPAD3 only hear its voice, not see its content. Count on super iOS operating system, independent research and development, the CPU control of the touch screen and flash freely industrial chain, strong brand marketing ability, won the industry most benefits-in this big of a few elements, but the iOS is one of the essential, it is the first to raise the d.

The samsung, the second in the industry rhino, although in AMOLED and flash memory market monopoly leads global, in the brand molding, channel control is second only to apple, samsung electronics group's strong support, but also ranks the first in the industry chain in Android big manufacturers, but it still felt deeply uneasy. Because, it does not have control over their operating system. So samsung, senior vice President of product strategy Juha Park made clear: samsung will intensify efforts to develop their own investment OS Bada, even as a substitute of Android, its annual rate has more than Windows platform.

No single appear of the amazon, also is the mobile phone market potential serious player. It has the ability in tablet computer market fully show, a quarter of the second time among the big flat computer manufacturers, force pressure samsung, followed apple. And, this is only a few countries in the global Kindle launch of cases happened. Kindle although use Android, but its change dramatically, as "whales", look be like is fish, is actually mammals. Such a with very low prices, sales hardware Internet enterprise, completely without hardware earnings, subversion of the rules of the game, once the all-out offensive mobile phone market, it is hard to imagine a few manufacturers, especially ZhongDiDuan manufacturers can withstand up.

As for the losing side of the often war Microsoft and its "travels" Intel didn't give up on OS the main battlefield, Microsoft and nokia together, there are still a beat, Intel is with Tizen association, hope to the meta as a turning point "master". As a representative of the Mozilla to a group of Internet enterprise have dorigo, intention to operating system as the core establish real "soft hegemony", they all want to go to OS hardware, wars, through the rise d change pattern.

In fact, qualcomm, as a representative of the upstream chip manufacturers, samsung, as a representative of the AMOLED screen and flash memory key components manufacturers, Google, as a representative of the OS manufacturer has become the communications industry in the three big profit center, and among them leading to a profit, the second names status instability-can say hard to enough of the hardware and software to soft enough, one must be. In particular, the apple exclusive upstream chip, OS and some key part 2.5 big profit center, so has the strongest bargaining power.

Other manufacturers, if not in these few big key areas the dominant, no doubt, will be other aspects in homogeneous competition, ultimately inevitable through the price war shopping on a scale to win the relative advantages to survive. In this sense, at 2011 years global cellphone list of nokia, LG TOP10, zte, RIM, huawei, HTC, MOTOROLA, and the list of countless small and medium-sized firms, are in the traditional low dimensional space-time in roma, quantity is really too much, and is too little profit center and....... Who can first have "soft hegemony", who is the most likely to have.

Andros application software download breakthrough 13 billion times

The new version system has to have "the near field communication technology" (NFC), namely users cellphone it will require the close contact with, they can send all kinds of documents, music, etc. Google has said, the development of the next version called "Jelly beans" system (Jelly Bean), and may be the first release this fall.

Google released the latest figures show that the system has 450000 andros application software, there have been 13 billion downloads record.
